A CHARITABLE quartet of cyclists are hoping to raise £10,000 in aid of a children’s charity.

Richard Williams, Lee Gould, Fraser Crewe and Paul Mewies will be cycling from Wrexham to Cardiff before travelling along the West Wales coastline, a distance of 418 miles.

They will set off on April 24 and the challenge is expected to last about eight days, with all proceeds going to help children’s charity Sparks.

Team leader Richard Williams, an active member of the Wrexham 41 club, said: “All of Sparks’ pioneering, groundbreaking work has a single aim; to give every child the chance to be born healthy and stay healthy.

“Their medical breakthroughs mean more children, who only a few years ago may not have survived, can now thrive and grow up to enjoy school, playing with their friends and sharing the simple joys most of us take for granted.”

Others taking part in the cycle challenge are Lee Gould, who with Richard is a director of Wrexham-based Williams Financial Planning, Paul Mewies, who lives near Holywell, and chartered surveyor Fraser Crewe, of Gresford.
